Scientists at Columbia University recently presented findings that suggest that the earthquake that left some 80,000 people dead in Sichuan Province, China last year may have caused in part by the building of a nearby dam. Human intervention triggering an earthquake? We didn't think that was possible. Nano Seeber, a seismologist at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, breaks it down for GOOD News.
